They lived on the marshy Gladden Fields where the Gladden River met the Anduin (there is a similarity here to the hobbits of Buckland and the Marish in the Shire. It is possible that those hobbits were the descendants of Stoors). It was from these Hobbits that Déagol and Sméagol/Gollum were descended.

At Lyminster near Arundel in the English county of Sussex, there are today said to dwell ""water-wyrms"" called knuckers, in a pool called the ""Knucker-hole"". The great Victorian authority Skeat had plausibly suggested the pool's name of ""knucker"" (a name attested from 1835, Horsfield) was likely derived from the Old English , a creature-name found in ""Beowulf"". Yet the waters at the pool were badly muddied by a local antiquarian named Samuel Evershed, who from 1866 tried assiduously to connect the pool with"

Lerna was reputed to be an entrance to the Underworld, and archaeology has established it as a sacred site older than Mycenaean Argos. In the canonical Hydra myth, the monster is killed by Heracles (Hercules) as the second of his Twelve Labors. According to Hesiod, the Hydra was the offspring"

Thor's Cave was served by a railway station on the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway from 1904 to 1934; the disused line now forms the Manifold Way. The origin of the name is uncertain, possibly from the word ""tor"". Links with the Norse god Thor and the Germanic paganism of the early Anglo-Saxons in general have been suggested, but evidence is lacking. Other hypotheses have included lost ancient dialectal terms, and obscure English saints. Excavations in 1864–65 and 1927–35 found human and animal remains, stone tools, pottery, amber beads,"
